Spiders can be considered as the "knitting net expert" recognized by nature. Although the spider silk is small, it is full of toughness. Inspired by this, Brazilian scientists began to study the implantation of spider genes into cotton in order to obtain new cotton varieties with stronger fiber and better flexibility. According to the Xinhua News Agency, Rio de Janeiro, September 14, the reason why spider webs are strong and flexible is because spiders have a special gene. The project that Brazilian scientists started to research is to produce a cotton that contains this gene. According to reports, scientists will begin harvesting the first batch of test cotton in the second half of 2005. The biologist Eribio Rash, who is in charge of the research project, said that they hope this new type of transgenic cotton can be used in the textile industry, in particular, can be used to make sportswear and a variety of protective clothing including body armor. . He said that today's textile plants are undergoing rapid renewal and therefore need a stronger raw material, and the natural spider silk is twice as strong as the synthetic fiber currently used to make body armor.
